But you are, Sir, and a very good one at that. Designed and made in England by Rebecca Chitty, this 100% Coir mat has a fitting proclamation with pleasing-to-the-eye big block letters.

Say ‘welcome!’ to your visitors whilst professing your fondness for computers. And don’t even pretend to not like this doormat, because it’s pretty cute (not in a fuzzy kitten way, mind you, more like just plain awesome). It’s made from coir, a natural and renewable fiber which happens to trap dirt quite well, and you simply shake it clean.

I’ve caught the holiday bug, obviously, as snowflakes and reindeers seem entirely appropriate purchases. This coir* rug is on sale from $29, and if you’re wanting to spruce up your entryway with a little modern holiday something, this is the way to do it.

If details matter to you, maybe you’d like a better doormat. This one, made from coir (natural coconut fiber), is pretty cool in a minimal-sleek-undercover way. The 3D illusion makes you look, more so than a regular doormat. It would go well with this door, though it might look tiny in comparison.

Home is where your doormat says it is. Simple enough.

Measures about 30″ x 18″.

If you’ve ever stood in the aisle of your local hardware store and been disappointed with their doormat selection, you’re certainly not alone. While fake stones and scrolly ‘Welcome’ signs work for some, it’s better to find something unassuming and utilitarian (or maybe even opt for something like Come In/Go Away). While this rubber doormat is a little higher in price than your local big box hardware store offerings, it certainly won’t offend anyone’s design sensibilities.

27.6″L X 15.7″W.

This doormat reads ‘welcome’ or ‘goodbye’ depending on if your are entering or exiting your dwelling. It reminds me a little of the Come In/ Go Away Doormat except it’s a bit more polite and obviously less frilly in script.

Ridged for scraping shoes and boots
100% recycled rubber tires

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with witty/silly doormats, in fact, we should all encourage the practice.

Even if no one is home to greet you, Mat will always be there with a Hi. It’s not “Hi honey, how was your day?” but it’s something.

Some of you might be a little tired of the pattern, but the size of this doormat somehow makes it likable. It would be perfect in front of sliding patio/glass doors…

“This beautiful Palazzo Extra Long Doormat represents the ideal blend of elegance and durability. Designed to take the worst that winter and mud season can dish out, this extra long doormat will help you keep your floors clean while welcoming your guests to your lovely home in style.”

The message changes as you walk in or walk out of the door, and I suppose which way is the ‘come in’ and which is the ‘go away’ is up to your mood or whatever side of the bed you woke up on.

Oh, I do believe these are the best doormats ever.

“These doormats designed by Ed Annink for Droog Design are based on pictograms that were developed by Gerd Arntz in the 1920s.”

I believe I posted some pillows that had Alexander’s handiwork displayed just like this, and now, here’s a nice little doormat with the same delightful numbers and letters. Something fun to wipe your feet on.

100% handwoven coir fiber. 24″x24″x1.5″

As far as doormats go, I think this is a nice alternative to most of the rather humdrum options.

Crafted of durable 100% coconut fiber.
